The long weekend.

Just because it’s named: All you can drink Special doesn’t necessarily mean that you should literally test to see how MUCH you can drink! Although, for some it was a rough night, I had a great time! I’m pretty sure Kevin and Michael did too…although I’m not sure how they faired after getting NO sleep and heading straight to the airport for their loooong flight home! Anyways here are some of the pics from that night.

Kevin getting a little more into than me...

Mike looking more kawaii than me...Kevin throwing up the gangsta peace and Russel being himself

Girl kisses...yuck

don't ever think Ive gotten that reaction in my life

BEFORE!After:

As Kevin would say,"OWNED!" 3 am Karaoke!

So because I’m leaving soon and I have practically 0 weekends left in Japan. Pam and I decided to head on down to Tokyo on Saturday after getting 4 hours of sleep. Thanks to Mike and Jeffrey we had railpasses and saved about 100$ on the train trip down there…even though Jeffrey’s wasn’t valid still, Pam had a system and it worked every time…hopped in a taxi and talked to the driver so much that he forgot to start the meter…onto Pam’s friend’s performance in Ragus (traditional Irish dancing and singing concert) where we got in for FREE! Pam rambled off some random Japanese/English about singers and the show and apparently they thought we were singers in the show because all of sudden we were handed 2 of the best tickets in the house! 1st floor, another 8,000yen saved! We can’t believe our luck, so far an entire Tokyo trip for FREE! It was amazing and we couldn’t stop talking about how lucky we were! It was AWESOME! Then it was out on the town. Pam’s friend needed to get back to the hotel around midnight since they had performances the next day and she needed her voice to sing. We were faced with a decision, should we go to her expensive hotel with Pam’s friend get a good nights rest and sleep in style orrrrr stay out all night and crash in an internet café!?! Of course, we stayed out all night (even though 2 all nighters in a row is not the brightest idea I’ve ever had) went to A-life in Roppongi and Harlem in Shibuya and were honorary HIGH ROLLERS all night, poppin’ our collars and buying up the bar! To be honest, the only reason is because we saved so much money from entire day, the only option was to have a good time no matter the price! Let’s just say “We made it rain!” LOL… then around 5am and in the middle of a typhoon plodded around in puddles to find an internet café…following a random Japanese couple who were in search of the same thing we finally found one. It was pretty much a cubicle with a reclining chair in it that you could crash in for 4 hours for 1200yen ( about $12). Woke up at 9 and onto Starbucks then to the train station to drag our exhausted behinds on home... on another FREE Shinkansen ride! Because of the typhoon, a lot of the trains were cancelled so Tokyo station (the busiest station in the world) was at a standstill where you literally had to step over people to maneuver through the station. Luckily ours was one of the few trains actually running so once again luck was on our side! It was one of the best times I have on a night out!

After getting home I got a call from Melissa about a potluck card night in Niitsu. Stay home and get some much needed rest or go to Niitsu??!? What to do, what to do. Whelp, it had to be done. Went grocery shopping, whipped up a batch of chimichungus for the potluck and hopped on another train. Good times again. Me and Reg WOOOPED Deccy and Mel in some Spades…*beaming pride* Hung out all night and woke up early to go into the city to see Harry Potter! HAD AN EARTHQUAKE, but we were troopers and went into the city anyways! The trains were all down so I met up with Ros, Johanna, and Natasha for some dinner and chattery

…then home to discover a whole bunch of stuff all over the floor from the earthquake.. Oh well, I leave that till another day to clean up… all I wanted to do was COMPLETELY CRASH…out like a light, only to be woken up by my “temporary not-so-boyfriend” (he made it up, not me) who I haven’t talked to in over 2 weeks blowing up my phone because he was “oh-so-worried” I was killed in the earthquake that happened 15 HOURS earlier, needless to say, I was less than impressed…had some choice words and then it was off to dreamland for umm…a whole 5hours. Boo. Now, I’m sitting at my computer nodding off every 5 seconds and looking a mess! How many hours left of work? …that would be 6. Another boo.
